I was recently shocked to learn that the leading cause of death in our world is not war, disease, or even cancer, but rather hunger. It’s hard to believe that in the 21st century we still live in a world where more than 8,000 kids under 5 will starve to death this very day! The students of Trinity have decided that they’d like to do something about it. This weekend, Trinity’s youth will be participating in the 30 Hour Famine to raise money and awareness for world hunger. From noon on Friday until 6:00pm on Saturday the students will be going without food for around 30 hours to get a small glimpse into what it means to be go hungry. Through this, we’ll be learning about hunger in our world as well as serve the hungry of our own community.
We as Christians are called to not just share the gospel in our broken world, but to live the gospel as well. Sharing the gospel without first living the gospel points the world to a hypocritical Church. However, living the gospel with sharing it on a personal level, doesn’t really help anyone in the long run.
If you would like to participate in the 30 Hour Famine with Trinity’s youth, feel free to contact the church office. Please pray for our students this weekend as they seek to live out the gospel in their community!
